I think that the giraffe is one of the most elegant animals on the African continent. Catching her in mid stride is very cool. The setting is so typical of the African savannah. Good lighting and great focus. It would be so much fun to be standing behind you as a witness to the scene.

Very, very impressive photograph. There''s no blur, very clear and sharp in detail. Great color; great use of the Rule4 of Thirds and great contrast.

Mercy this is a lovely shot. To get or take a shot of a giraffe has to be so exciting unless you're someplace where you used to seeing them. It's a beauty too and look at the golds, wheats and green earthy neutral colors captured in this image so clear. Great job!

Very well timed shot. Mid stride with no motion blur - exceptional camera management.

Earth tones are well displayed and contrast nicely with the blue sky.

Focus is sharp throughout allowing a deep DOF.

The off center framing implies a direction and the vegetation gives the eye something to equate the size of the Giraffe.

Superb camera work all around ... Bob

This is an excellent capture of this giraffe in her natural environment on her way to join her family. They are fascinating animals and you have done her justice. Good luck in the contest. Ray

You have pictured this running giraffe really well, and the stop action is very good. I also like the background landscape and how well the giraffe is standing out from it.

The photo is sharp showing clear and well defined details in the giraffe, and the exposure is perfect.

The format you have cropped the photo into works well, and I like that you have given the giraffe room to move into. It is a lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

A beautiful stop action picture of the female Giraffe moving towards her family, her beautifully marked coat blending in with the surrounding vegetation. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus.

Nicely composed image of the giraffe in its natural environment. The muted colors are good and the giraffe is reasonably focused showing the pattern clearly.
